Flirting is the best way to show you’re interested and having fun; it’s also a difficult task for some. There’s a fine line between flirting and taking the technique to an awkward extreme. Keep these few suggestions in mind:
- Smile. Smiling shows you’re happy and having a good time, so show off your pearly whites.
- Laugh (but not at everything). If you laugh at everything that’s being said, especially at your own jokes, you may want to take it down a notch. Excessive giddiness can make you come off too desperate to please your date. Laugh when appropriate, and laugh genuinely. Fake laughs are the worst and, honestly, kind of insulting, too.
- Make physical contact. While reaching for a knee mid-flirt can be interpreted as inappropriate and definitely over the edge, a light touch on the arm or hand shows comfort and sincerity.
